Your words:

It is a term that expresses some form of limitation on the part of the singer.

It seems to imply a singer who is good enough to 'steal' material from - but not good enough themselves, to actually perform this material.

And later in the thread I asked the following:

Would that suggest that a Jeannie Robertson, Jean Ritchie, or Sarah Makem is/was not good enough to perform this music?


and you answered:

Yes it would.

Now go ahead and try and twist that, but the record is the record.

And you seem to think that anyone who challenges your ridiculous assertions is bullying you. That is not the case. You are responsible for your own words. When they are silly and uninformed, they are fair game.

Enough in this thread.
